Audiobook Review:
This is the third and final installment of the Airport Novella’s from Denise Williams. I really loved the first novella in this series and loved that each were interconnected and mentions of the others characters were made, but sadly this one didn’t knock it out of the park for me. For this series I absolutely loved the first one but could take or leave the other two.

What I liked: the depth of friendship between the main characters and that there was some history to suggest that more than friends would be a good fit for them. I also liked that we got present day and flashbacks in the story to provide more depth in the short length of the novella.

What I didn’t enjoy: how the plot seemed to drag and I was hoping for more from their search for who wrote the letter. It just didn’t hold my attention well and would have enjoyed more building of relationship and less focus on trying to solve the puzzle with the length we had.

The Sweetest Connection by Denise Williams, was a cute, friends to lover’s short story set in her Airport novella series. I did not read the previous two books, but this did read very well. We meet our heroine and hero at the start (Teagan & Silas), when they were freshmen paired up in an orientation event, which led to a wonderful strong friendship. The POV’s switched between past events and present time.

They had a wonderful history together as friends, as their bond was special. Teagan has a job in a candy shop, and Silas works as a problem solver in the airport. In present time, Teagan is planning to leave shortly for a 5-month trip to Paris for research purposes; unknown to Teagan, Silas has broken up with his girlfriend. A love letter is discovered, with both Teagan and Silas join up to try to find out who the couple is, pushing them to spend more time together before she leaves.

Silas knows he is very much in love with Teagan, but refrains from explaining his true feelings, as he is afraid to lose his best friend. Of course, we know that Teagan also has feelings for Silas, with both hiding those feelings.

The Sweetest Connection was a fun cute friend to lover’s story line. I really did like Teagan and Silas together, and hoped they would finally admit their true feelings. As they played cupid with finding the owner of the note, the more time they spend together, as well as when Teagan is close to leaving for Paris; will force them own up to their fears of possible heartbreak. The Sweetest Connection was a short story that was very well written by Denise Williams.

Teagan and Silas are best friends, and it has to stay that way. They kissed one time, and things became super awkward, so they both vowed to never repeat the past. However, Teagan is leaving for a study abroad trip and she convinces Silas to help her with one last thing before she leaves: find the owner of a love letter.

This was my least favorite of the Airport Novellas so far; the bar is VERY high though, since Denise Williams is such a great writer, so it still deserves 4/5 stars. I'd totally recommend this to someone wanting a short and sweet read.

I ended up listening to the audiobook of this title. It was fun! I love a novella and the friends to lovers romance was good.

The Sweetest Connection is the third book in the airport novellas. This sweet romance features Teagan and Silas and is a friends-to-lovers trope. I really enjoyed this one! I especially loved the audiobook which is narrated by Angel Pean & Teddy Hamilton. Highly recommend picking this one up!

This is my favorite of the three novellas. This story was so sweet and tender and I loved the way their love bloomed throughout this story. Even though the steamy scene wasnt super descriptive I felt the waves of emotion coming off the page. Denise is a master storyteller!
